Using An External Monitor

Overview

You can attach your computer to an external monitor or projector and use it as an extension of your display (known as "dual independent

display" or "extended desktop" mode). Extended desktop will allow you to use both screens independently and drag objects from one

screen to the other, effectively doubling the amount of viewable work space. To use extended desktop mode, perform the steps in the

following section that corresponds to the operating system your computer is using.

Windows 7

NOTE: Please set up your computer before using this document.

Go to the Desktop Screen, right-click on the desktop and choose screen resolution. Click on Detect and choose the extra display as an

Extended display or Duplicate by clicking on the Multiple displays drop box. Click on apply and then OK.

Windows 8 and Windows 8.1

Open the Devices charm on the right-side of your desktop, and then tap or click Second screen. Tap or click Duplicate if you want the

same content on both your PC and your TV, or tap or click Extend if you want to extend the PC display on your TV.
